## Choose when

### Choose mixture-of-diffusers if…

- License: mixture-of-diffusers is MIT, pytorch is Other.
- Tags unique to mixture-of-diffusers: ai, computer-vision, diffusion-models, stable-diffusion.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.

### Choose pytorch if…

- License: pytorch is Other, mixture-of-diffusers is MIT.
- Tags unique to pytorch: autograd, deep-learning, gpu, machine-learning.
- Also covers Model Training.
- pytorch ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

## When NOT to use mixture-of-diffusers

- Last GitHub push was 1147 days ago (dormant maintenance, May 21, 2023). Validate activity before betting a new project on mixture-of-diffusers.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.

## When NOT to use pytorch

- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
